Integrated Math III · Week 25 · Mathematical Modeling with Geometry
Modeling with Geometry
Designing an accessible ramp or shade structure.
- Students will
- Students use geometric shapes and a design rule to find measurements for an accessible ramp and a shade frame.
- SEL skill
- Consider how people who use a ramp or shade structure experience the design
- What it looks like
- Students practice seeing a design from the point of view of people who use it.
- Content focus
- Modeling objects with shapes and designing to a rule
- Format
- Small group problem-solving
